The objectives of the present study were twofold. First, we tested a new approach to affect regulation dynamics, conceptualized as network made up reciprocal influences that and strategies constantly exert on each other. Second, attempted gain better understanding these dynamics by examining how they vary according broad personality traits. To this end, adopted an experience sampling method, involving five daily assessments over 2–week period. In assessment, participants indicated their...
